About Me
I arrived in Fairbanks in 1972, and watched our
log house being built. The smell of fresh cut
logs and wood became a part of me, and I have
been immersed in it as often as possible ever
since. At first, it was simple stuff inspired by
necessity and the occasional " Honey, can you
fix this?" Then, a few years ago, I built a set of
stairs out of a single, 16-foot tree. The word
got out, and soon it was awnings, shelves,
cabinets, and all the stuff you see on this
website. JB's Boardworks became an official
business in 2007- 2 years after it all started in
Anchorage. Since then, a lot has happened
and the business has grown, requiring a shop
up-sizing, and keeping me busy. I like to create
new and unique things, as opposed to
everyday items. All the items posted here were
thought up by the people who purchased them
(except for the Science Center- I built that for
my son, the aspiring scientist- and the knick
knack shelves), and custom- built by yours
truly. Feel free to e-mail me or call with ideas,
questions, or requests. Be sure to check out
my
"Current Projects" page- it will show you
what I'm up to lately!
